You should be able to do the following in SQL Server Management Studio Express:
Right click on the databases folder in the object explorer and select "Attach" then "Add." From there you can just select your mdf file and it should work.

If you don't have that tool, it can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/d...displaylang=en
http://www.raima.com for all your embedded and real-time database needs.
